Reports on the Labor Question.

Two interesting reports of Legislative
committees appointed g investigate phases
OF the labor question have been lately made
public One is the report of the commit
tee Of tire House of Representatives ap-
pointed % inquire into the cause of the
Western railroad strikes; the other is the
report Of Ne committee of the New York
Assembly which has been investigating
the recent Oal strike at New York. Both
committees devote some space to consid.
Grafton of the rights and the limits of
action of crganizcd labor, and both agree
in taking sound view of the matter. Their
conclusion, is in effect that, while the right
Of Il MANI. Of bodies of men to refuse to
labor for what they regard as unjust re
muneration is unquestionable, the right Of
employers 10 determine what wages they
shall pay is equally unquestionable, as is
the right Of workmen who desire to keep

tions to dispose of their labor as they please
and at what rates they please and that any
conStraint or intimidation intended to restri: t
this freedom of employers and unassoci-

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Some Sagacious Advice to the Colorcd People
OF the South.

10 the Editor Of The Ne,Cs Gnd Courier.
Permit me to thank you for tho kind sug-
gcstion made to President Cleveland to ap
point me TO the office of Register Of Deeds
for the District of Columbia should the
Senate reject the nocination of Mr. Trottcr,
as appeared in your issuse of the 3D. inst
rejoice to sec the time coming when Incl.
dents in the administration of political par
tics will show to the colUrcd man, of the
South especially, that he must regulate his
politics as white men do, to wit, according
to his best interests and the highest welfare
of the government.
| do not endorse much that the Demo
cratic party has done toward the negro, but
! recognize the folly of dwelling upon it,
in the face Of changed relationships and O
new era in the South. The negro must Sc
loct in the South that line Of politics which
will give him protection in his rights. To
say to him that he cannot be protected is as
bad rs to deny him protection.
Fearing that some may say that this is
written to favor my nomination to the
office, let me say that know while ! write
of Mr.. Trotter's confirmation, and am clad
of it, Why should 9 negro nomocrat be
objected to by Republicans and a white
accepted cannot understand. The Rcpub,

but let it remember that its ward is man,

that the ColOred voter should be in c0.oDrr.
